Working the Musical - Something to Point To Lyrics

MIKE
See that building
WOMAN 1
I was the one who did the design
WOMAN 2
I was the one who drafted the plans
ALL
Ev'ry detail and ev'ry line
See that building
MAN 1
I ran the crane that lifted the beams
MAN 2
I was the guy that worked up above
WOMAN 2
Look at those bricks, those bricks are mine
ALL
Ev'ry detail and ev'ry line
See that building
WOMAN 1
Look how my door hangs in its frame
ALL
See that building
MIKE
Forty flights up, I scratched my name
ALL
See that building
MAN 1
I'm on the staff, I work as a guard
WOMAN 2
I clean the floors, and I clean 'em good
WOMAN 3
People don't know my job is hard
ALL
See that building
WOMAN 1
Five days a week, I work at a desk
MAN 2
I do the books
WOMAN 1
I handle the mail
MAN 2
Nine on the dot, I punch my card
ALL
See that building
MAN 3
Up by the ledge
MAN 1
Ten from the top
ALL
See that building
MAN 2
Count from the left
ALL
One, two, three, stop!
That's where I work!
Everyone should have something to point to
Something to be proud of
MAN 2
Look what I did
MAN 1
See what I've done
WOMEN
I did the job
MAN 3
I was the one
ALL
Everyone should have something to point to
Some way to be tall in a crowd
Proud
See that building
Day after day after day after day
That's where I put myself on the line
That's where I sweat to earn my pay
See that building
MAN 3
That's where I put the food on our plates
WOMAN 2
That's where I've lived a piece of my life
ALL
Where I can bring my kids and say
See that building
The lumber was cut
Decisions are made
See that building
The windows are washed
The site was surveyed
The memos are typed
The concrete was laid
The records are kept
The office is run
The coffee is sold
The digging was done
The building was built for all eyes to see
By me
Me
Me
Me
Me
Me
Me
